Indicted for It-liZion'- SAKE


There were three principal kinds Of
torture inflicted by the lnqulsition--
the rope, the trough. and water ana
FIRE. In the first the hands OF the ac-
cuSed were tied behind his back and
then a rope was fastened TO the wrists,
and by this rope and pulley he was
raised into the air TO a considerable
height, and after being held suspended
for a time lie was suddenly let fall to
within about a foot and a half the
ground, the sudden stop giving him a
Jolt that dislocated his joints and
caused him to utter the most piercing
cries of anguish. And this was re-
peated as often as the doctor or the IN
quisition said the man could stand It.
To intensity the horrors OF the sur
ferings, the torture was inflicted IN a
lnrid subterranean vault In the presence
of persons completely masked In black.
III the victim would not yield to the
rope, the water torture was tried. a
large piece of timber, followed out
| like a trough, had sharp iron bar
across II. The prisoner was placed
| in the trough, with this bar under his
back and his head and feet were
! fastened down 10y cords to the ends or
the trough. The presence or the bar
and the tightness of the CORDS caused
! the person to experience lnexpresslble
agony. But this was not all. They
stopped mp his nostrils, and placing a
piece of linen cloth over his mouth,
which he was obliged TO keep open,
they poured a :tream OF water upon IL
from Il considerable height.
! This forced the cloth deep into the
throat of the sufferer and cut oil his
breath. When he was nearly dead his
torturers rested from their inhumar
work for some time to give him
chance to revive, and then went al
him again, renewing the dose every
time the doctor said he could stand II
The torture by fire was the most Eorri
BILE. 4 fierce fire was built and The
prisoners feet anointed with lard hnC
other penetrating substances, wer'
held close to the flames. The pain was
frightful. 1t often drove prisoners Il
confessions that were simply lies anC
after the confession came the auto-da
re, dozens of victims being led TO tn
funeral pyres and burnei in the pres,
ence OF a holiday throng. The inquisl
tion ceased to exist IN France In 1Ioy
in Germany in 1854, in Austria in 11Io
and in Sweden IN 1886. In lIS2 forty
eight gypsies were put to the rack !

The Brakcman's Stingy NciShbo:

"Funny things occurred down at om
house Christmas" said the brakeman.
"I'm away almost every night in the
wear. but Christmas night l got lay
or and staid home with the wife and
babies. Next door to US lives one OF
the stingest old codger5 that ever was.
Wheeler is his name, and everybody
calls him Stingy Wheeler. lie Is an
old chap who has no children and no
friends, and who is said to be worth a
good deal of money. I've had a good
deal of sickness in my house this WIN
ter, and times have been right hard
with us. 1t was mighty little Christ

that is that our house is not hard to

there's only one man in this nelghbor-

How Horses Rest.

"Horses can get some rest standing"
aid an old trainer recently, provided
che position be reasonably easy, but no
full rest except recumbent. it is
known of some horses that they never
lie down in the stall. though If kept in
pasture they take their rest habitually
in a recumbent position. 1t is well to
consider whether the habit has not
been forced upon the horse 10y some cir
cumstances connected with the stall he
was made TO occupy, in that it had q
muddy earth floor, or one made of d.
lapidated plank, uncomfortable and Of
fensive to the horse that had been ac-
customed to select his own bed III the
pasture. If the horse can have the
privilege of selecting his own position
for resting on his feet, he can sleep
standing; but while his muscles may
be to a certain degree relaxed and get
rest in that position. what can be said
of the bearings at the iointsl Without
relief through the recumbent position,
the ioiut surfaces are forced contin-
ually to bear a weight varying from
!. .OOu to l 800 pounds. This must act
unfaverably, especially upon the com
plicated structures within tie hoofs
which nature intended should have
periods of rest each day."

A great deal OF interest is felt here
In the experiments made at Ottswa,.
Kan, by Prof. Wylic OF the Agricul-
tural Department They show that
by the new diffusion process the man
ufacturers Of sugar from Southern cane
may just double their yield. This Is
just the problem that the cane growers
OF the South have been long time
trying to solve. They have been
struggling along for years making
barely living in the hope that by
some interposition of Providence they
would be saved from bankrupt y. This
discovery probably saves them. It
offers system by which they MAJ get
90 per cent. of the sugar out OF the
cane, instead Of As per cent. as they
now do. And 1t does not increase the
cost OF manufacturing, sither. The
only additional cost is the new ma
chinery needed.
The diffusion process Is a peculiar
one. Instead Of squeezing the juice
out as was always done heretofore, this
process washes II out. Imagine long
row of iron tanks holding perhaps
twenty bushels apiece and connected
by iron pipes which carry hot water in
at the top OF the first one and out at
the bottom, and thence into the second
one at the top and out at the bottom,
thence into the third and fourth and SO
on to the end of the long row. These
tanks ere called battery, thou gh this
name does not mean that there Is any
thing in the way OF electricity used in
the process. The cane is sliced up in
TO thin slices anG put into these tan Il S,
and after being steamed hot waite il
forced through the pipes and tanks. II
enters at the end oil the row, carrying
with 1t as it passes along tho sugar
that II washes from each chip of cane,
and by the time it comes out the last
tank 1t is very sweet. BY keeping
that stream running through the tanks
a few minutes, ninety. five per cent. OF
the sugar is taken out Of the cane,
The meaning Of this important dis
covery is that this country in few
years is going TO produce its own
sugar. The diffusion process is no
more costly than the old system after
the machinery is obtained, and by it
the yield Of sugar is doubled, both
from the Southern cane and from the
sorghum. The result will be not only
to stimulate the sugar manufacturer,
where the Southern cane is now
grown, but to open ur new fields for
this production. Mr.. Mills, The Con
gresham from Texas, says there are
millions OF acres of fine cane land in
his State waiting for some method OF
cheap production of sugar. He as
serts that there Is in the State of
Texas alone enough availa BILE cane
land 10 raise all the sugar wanted by
the people of this country. Then ther,
is cane land in Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Florida that has never
yet been developed. to say nothing o
the possibilities of sugar making from
the Northern cane and from beets.
